Summary

The team discussed the need to make the hole for the camera on the enclosure 80mm instead of 50mm. Christian shared his solution of using a tool he found on eBay or Amazon to do the cutting, and he was going to produce a prototype of a disc that fits into the hole and has an 80mm drill jig. He was also going to produce a tutorial video for everyone to follow. David showed a demo of the auto exposure code he and Fabio had been working on. He also showed a plot of the target brightness over 36 hours, as well as noise levels and a quality metric which was taken from a research paper and was part of an open source project. The code was optimized by Fabio to run quicker and the fluctuations in brightness were due to an east facing window.

Participants were Lionel (software), Paul (mod), Richard (hardware), Wayne (hardware), Bojan (hardware), Clemens (org), David (software), Daria (software), Nikolaj (hardware), Fabio (software), Jannik (software), Kian (software), Aaron (software), Ido (software), Christian (hod) and Serge.
